Approximately 21 days out of the month, I love being a female. I have great boobs, I get to sit down and take a 45 second break when my bladder demands, and I have the ability to find most objects I am looking for without yelling "Hunny!" life is, mostly, dandy as a chick.

But then you have the other 10 days. They are not pleasant for me. And it seems that these dreaded days are getting worse every month. Not fun! 10 out of 31 really isn't too bad though, and it beats the alternative!

Besides the achy back, today was fun. The crew went to the Nashville Zoo! It was free today for military, so we paid a grand total of $5 for parking. We saw fun animals and lazy animals, and overall the girls loved it. K's favorite were the monkeys. One little guy was super entertaining, swinging and climbing. P's favorite were the meerkats, and we got to see them being fed. Who knew they ate worms?! Not me! My favorite was probably the walk to the car! I am not a big fan of zoos in general. And what is the point of going to a zoo if you aren't going to see bears? But really, it was fun. The girls loved it, so J and I did as well.

I also went to the store and got a couple pairs of pants this evening. Nothing special, just the first two I tried on. My fav jeans ripped a couple weeks ago, and my other fav pair will probably completely rip the next time I put them on! I think it has been 2 years since I bought a new pair. Long overdue! Shopping just isn't fun for me, so I put it off way to long. But alles gut, I have pants that I don't have to worry about moving in.
